    Hello all, I currently I am rebuilding a spare xj550 engine I got, all is going well but I have a query.

    Which way round are the crankshaft plane bearings meant to be? I toon the engine apart and found the plain ones without groves and hole in the bottom crank case and the top crank case has the bearings that are grooved with holes, I checked Fowlers parts and it makes it out as that's wrong way round, nothing in the manual either.

    Hope someone can clarify.
